What’s the difference between this course at the University of Twente and a similar course at a university of applied sciences?

The academic skills you learn on the Bachelor’s programme at the University of Twente enable you to reach the required level to enter a university Master’s programme. It prepares you for a job in which you will contribute to the development of the latest cutting-edge technological applications. Our practicals and projects turn students into real engineers, capable of solving problems independently by taking a pragmatic and structured approach, working efficiently and effectively with others. You’ll not only learn the right answer to a question, but get to grips with the why and how of electrical engineering.

How do I find housing in Enschede?

Enschede is a student city, and housing either on-campus or off-campus is relatively easy to find. However, we recommended that you start looking in plenty of time. If you are a student from outside the Netherlands, the University of Twente’s International Office can help you find furnished accommodation. Go to the university’s international student website for more information. If you are looking for unfurnished accommodation, please have a look at our web page on alternative housing options.
